Got talent? Your chance to take part in Kingston's summer youth arts festival

Now is your chance to apply to show off your talents during Kingston’s biggest youth arts festival taking place this summer.

Pubs, galleries, churches and Kingston museum were all used as venues as well as parks, the Market Place and a car park.

Artists also took over the Rose Theatre’s main stage performing to the likes of Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, a patron of the festival.
